Luke 5:22-26
22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”
Unexpected paradoxical (strange) things were seen when God received the glory for how He not only healed a paralyzed man, but actually forgave hi sins before God! They began to see that it was God among them, His finger reaching down as a man to them as Jesus knew what they thought and acted as only the Divine can. They felt the fear, the awe of God.
